"How is this any different than the Supreme Court declaring that Florida went for Bush no matter if a ballot recount showed it going for Gore?"

The RBC decision is worse than what happened to Gore in 2000. Though we know that a full recount examining undervotes and overvotes would've resulted in a Gore victory, the SC decision merely stopped the recount. Bush won a fully certified election. Crooked? You bet. Still, it was done under the law. Bush was the certified winner in FL.

What the RBC did was to set aside the results of a legal, certified election. In short, the results they made up, based on exit polls, could've just as well come from a reading of tarot card or tea leaves. Their decision had no basis under the law, or the charter, bylaws, and rules of the DNC.

The RBC arbitrarily handed Michigan delegates to the DNC's preferred candidate to try to prevent him being defeated at the convention. There is no rule or guideline in the DNC that allows that organization to redistribute a state's delegation to the national convention. They can refuse to seat a delegation, they can refuse to permit the delegation to have full voting authority, but they cannot change the composition of the delegation.

Reallocating votes based on the outcome you want to have, not what the certified vote count actually was, eviscerates democracy as such.

Think about this. Really think about this. A committee of people, behind closed doors and under pressure from a specific candidate to shore up his crumbling support, has functionally declared Michigan's votes null and void and has reallocated the delegates to suit themselves.
